  3. 19th-Century Groupie

    In 1858, 14-year-old Rochesterian Henry F. Huntington started a campaign to obtain the signatures of as many famous authors, politicians, and jurists as he possibly could. Here we see the signature of our 13th president, Millard Fillmore (1800-1874). Fillmore is credited as a co-founder of the University at Buffalo (UB), and was known for opposing President Lincoln’s policies during the Civil War. Fillmore died in Buffalo after suffering a stroke. (From the collection of the Rochester Public Library Local History & Genealogy Division.)
